[Responsible-digital-futures] Open Science and Research Integrity for Research Assessment in the Digital Age

[Suchith Anand]

Dear colleagues,


I have shared my reflections from the *EU Presidency High-Level Conference
on Reforming Research Assessment *at
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/geoforall/2025-December/006638.html


Building upon the momentum and discussions from the EU Presidency
High-Level Conference on Reforming Research Assessment, The Ethical Data
Initiative is pleased to invite you to join us for the next in the Research
Assessment for Ethics, Data and AI Discussion Series with partners the
Coalition for the Advancement of Research Assessment CoARA ERIP
<https://www.coara.org/working-groups/wg-erip/>, the Research Data Alliance
<https://www.rd-alliance.org/>, the Declaration on Research Assessment
<https://sfdora.org/> and the International Science Council’s CODATA
<https://codata.org/>.


Part of the Research Assessment for Ethics, Data and AI Discussion Series,
this event, titled *"Open Science and Research Integrity for Research
Assessment in the Digital Age"* will explore the critical intersection of
Open Science (OS) practices and the imperative to uphold Research Integrity
(RI) within evolving evaluation frameworks. The digital revolution has
amplified calls for openness and transparency, making OS fundamental to
reproducibility and trust. However, the same technologies, including
Artificial Intelligence, introduce new integrity challenges, such as the
risk of AI-driven data fabrication or the 'black box' opacity of complex
algorithms.


The panel will address the urgent need for Research Assessment (RA) reform
to recognise and reward ethical and open scholarly contributions, moving
beyond reliance on traditional metrics. Experts will discuss the role of
global initiatives, such as the Coalition for the Advancement of Research
Assessment (CoARA), and examine practical steps institutions can take to
cultivate a research culture that actively promotes ethical conduct and
ensures the reliability of scientific findings in a data-centric world.


Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that aims to shape the future
of research evaluation and governance on *Wednesday 17 December, 2025, from
11:00-12:30 UTC*
